In cement manufacturing, the process starts with mining and grinding down the raw materials to a powder. Strict process control measures are used along the way to remove moisture from the process and to create the right air-to-fuel ratio for burners used on cement kilns. The combustion airflow in this step is key to achieving the right temperature needed for chemical bonding of the raw materials into clinker. Airflow control for material drying of the clinker and gypsum mixture must be precise to ensure the cement powder is free of moisture and ready for packaging.
